Heat stress is among one of the limiting and ever looming threats to cotton productivity in
Pakistan. This factor inflicted huge losses in the recent years. In Pakistan genotypes
developed for general cultivation face very high temperature of about 50 C during the month
of June which is about 20 C more than the optimum temperature thus retard yield to greater
extent. The plant parts like buds, flowers, fiber quality traits are greatly influenced due to high
temperature. This mini review partially covers effect of heat stress on cotton fiber quality …
